    Epic_Nex reacted to Ophidio in FPS drops / Stuttering across all games and cards - help   
    That's your problem, you tried uninstalling just using the OS. When you "uninstall" a driver through the OS it doesn't actually uninstall. You need to download the program Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to your system. Once you get that installed and setup to where you can find it easily you need to restart your PC and boot into safe mode. While in safe mode launch DDU and uninstall your drivers then restart your system again. I would suggest doing this while on integrated graphics just to make sure it get's any traces of Nvidia off your system. Then once you've uninstalled all Nvidia related things you can put your 1060 in and download the drivers straight from Nvidia. I wouldn't even suggest using GeForce Experience as it kind of sucks now.... a lot....
     
    But the reason you are having this stutter problem is because without DDU windows does not uninstall the driver completely, so when you "uninstalled" it it just deleted a few of the files but didn't get rid of it completely. So when you reinstalled it just put the new driver on top of the old driver and your system was trying to use both at once which is what made everything go wonky. 
     
    TL:DR, Download DDU, Install DDU, reboot system into safe mode, launch DDU, uninstall drivers, reboot system, install new drivers.

    Hey thanks for the help. I have tested it out a little and so far it seems to have worked. For future reference, how would you go about installing the newest drivers? Do you use DDU every time you want to go to a new version or just download the drivers and let nvidia do it? Or do you not install new drivers at all?

    Check to make sure all the RAM is seated properly, and try testing with just 2 sticks (first test the 2 old sticks then the 2 new sticks and if you encounter problems with 2 stick test each stick separately)

    Um. Maybe your NAT filter is strict, so try going into the router and make it open.

    Its not the governments job to dictate what the youth of america look at on the internet. Parents have the right to raise their kids the way they want to, and this kind of violates that. If they wanted to try and protect kids from seeing bad things, it would be so much easier to run campaigns to convince parents to put parental restrictions on devices, instead of trying to pass legislation to make it mandatory. Just seems like a dumb way to put filters for kids, and just another way to collect revenue for uncle sam.

    There is no way to know exactly how many kills he needs unless we know how many deaths he has. Either way, at minimum start going at least 1.0 k/d from now on and eventually it will get up to 1

    I would not try mixing and matching different RAM types/storage/speeds etc.  I would recommend just buying the same RAM you currently have and putting that in. Make sure you put it in the correct RAM slot so that it is running in dual channel.  I doubt you would ever need more than 16GB of RAM if you ever chose to go that high.

    Grounded meaning that where it plugs into the wall for electricity, it has 3 metal inserts and not 2. Make sure your PC and audio system is grounded.

    Look up the legal working age for your country. Usually you can get a job at 14, but its just very limited on what you can do and how long you can work, but its an option.
